RSS Screensaver? (Not Date Related)

I added several RSS feeds from the New York Times website to a bookmark folder in Safari, and they show up in the "options" section of the RSS screen saver, but when I choose one, only a few of them come up on the actual screensaver. For example, the NYT World feed, out of 40 current feeds, the screen saver repeats the same 4. How can I get it to rotate through ALL current feeds?

Sorted, sorry I realised that you have to have feeds in your safari browser to have the screensaver recognise them.

  • 10.5 RSS Screensaver not working

    Probably a stupid question, but I tried setting OS 10.5's RSS screensaver to http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss, and I keep getting the error message 'Your selected subscriptions contain no pictures".
    On my new iMac, running 10.6, this doesn't give me an error message. I tried looking through the help, and it didn't help solve my issue...
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks so much!

    I am having a different problem with the RSS Screensaver. When the info comes up, it used to say "Press the 1 Key for more" or something to that effect. Now there is no info about which key to press. Anyone know how to get this back? Switching RSS feeds doesn't solve the problem, and the Screensaver is pretty useless if I can't read the articles...
    Thank you...

  • Upgrade question...not data related!

    Ok, I have learned to accept the fact I have no choice but to get a data plan if I want to get a new phone that my daughter can see the screen on since she is visually impaired.  The question I have now is both hers and my phone are due for early upgrade on the same day, the 29th/30th (depends on who I ask) of this month. I had planned on waiting til then to get the new phones but now we have several new issues. Her vision has degraded to the point where on her current phone, the Versa, she can no longer tell certain letters or numbers apart, even with the font set to the largest size available, so I need to do something quick for her. I have the EnV Touch, which until January was a great phone, never had a problem with it, since then it will not hold a charge for more than 3-4 hours, bought a new battery-same problem. constantly resets itself, will not keep my settings (i.e. wallpaper, background, clocks etc), 2 weeks ago the inside screen went bonkers and now it looks like a bad Picasso, even with all that I was going to limp it along until the end of the month. Well, today the touch screen has gone bonkers and the phone itself gets incredibly hot when I try to charge it. Is it possible to get our upgrade NOW even though it is 3 weeks early? Without getting charged a ridiculous price since I am extending 2 yrs?
    Sorry this is so long....hope someone can help

    My Droid 2 (motorola) never shuts off.  (only if I remove the battery) This is not a feature advertised when I purchased this phone.  I have had the phone replaced once already, and the new (used-refurbished) replacement has the same "feature".
    Ok, I've now called verizon and the responce was "tough" if you want a beter phone you have to pay for it retail price! 
    Now, I've been patient for enough months that I feel it's time to accually make my voice heard.   I would like to talk with someone who can remedy this situation.
    If you can't your replacement will!   

  • RSS screensaver not reading feeds

    Hi!
    I was just checking my setting for the screensaver, which is the RSS feeds option. If you click on the options button a list appears, but it is empty.
    Can anyone tell me how to get this list to show, or to reset it.
    Thanks

  • The '' secondary data source is not a relational data source, or does not use an OLE DB provider.

    Hi,
    We are using Teradata as data source in SSAS 2008R2, it’s using ‘.Net Providers\.Net Data Provider for Teradata’.
    In DSV, we have two data sources both using Teradata. While processing dimensions, all dimensions coming from secondary data source has error message”
    The '' secondary data source is not a relational data source, or does not use an OLE DB provider.”
    But we are not using OLE DB provider for now, we’ve searched some threads that named queries can be replaced for secondary ds, but since we have a lot of tables, it’s hard to implement using named queries.
    Any inputs would be appreciated. 

    Hi memostone,
    When defining a data source view that contains tables, views, or columns from multiple data sources, the first data source from which you add objects to the data source view is designated as the primary data source (you cannot change the primary data
    source after it is defined). After defining a data source view based on objects from a single data source, you can then add objects from other data sources.
    If an OLAP processing or a data mining query requires data from multiple data sources in a single query, the primary data source must support remote queries using
    OpenRowset. Typically, this will be a SQL Server data source.
    Here are the restrictions:
    The primary data source should be SQL Server and support OpenRowset to the secondary data source.
    Or you design the cube in such a way that rocessing for each object only needs to access data from a single data source
    I recommand you refer to the following article:
    Defining a Data Source View (Analysis Services):

  • RSS screensaver: I can not press '1' to read article on AZERTY keybord

    Hi,
    When I use the RSS screensaver, I can not press '1' to read the article. I am using a AZERTY keybord on my MacBook and when I try to press '1', the screensaver stops and nothing else happens. I suppose it is because I need to press shift to enter a number...
    I already tried to use shift-lock before starting the screensaver. Same issue...
    Any ideas?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Anybody ?

  • Rss screensaver hotkeys not working

    I use the the rss screensaver - the BBC tech edition - under the headlines it says 'press the (numeral) key to read more' - pressing the key used to bring up FF with the relevant article. But now it doesn't work -- any ideas?

    I think the RSS feed button is expecting to see a URL of either http://web.mac.com/tpardon/todpardon/Video_Podcast/rss.xml OR
    feed://www.pardondesign.com/todpardon/Video_Podcast/rss.xml
    Are you uploading your podcast separately to your 3rd party server? Are you modifying any of your folders on .Mac or your 3rd party server?

  • Missing the RSS Screensaver

    I am trying to understand the RSS screensaver, I have had this running at work on my Quicksilver G4, but recently I have switched on and it is no longer in the list.
    At home my upgraded G3 also does not have this screensaver option present. What actually makes it appear or not. The only change to my work Mac is that it has been moved to a new building and network. So this does not seem to stack up with graphics card or processor power.
    Can anyone advise?

    Since you had directory corruption that was corrected, but the problem persists, you're running out of options:
    1. Check all preferences with Preferential Treatment. Other preferences may be corrupted.
    2. When the problem occurs, e.g. you open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and you don't see the screen savers you're seeking, check the ends of these Console logs for clues. Clues could include messages relating to System Preferences, the Desktop or Screen Saver preference pane, etc.
    I suspect you're heading down a path that will eventually lead to reinstalling Mac OS X via Archive and Install, but I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet.
    3. Question: How are you opening the Screen Saver preferences panel? Are you launching System Preferences by double-clicking its icon in the Applications folder and then selecting the Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane? If not, (a) try that and (b) describe precisely (step-by-step) how you are opening the Screen Saver preferences.
    I ask as some third-party menu extras that open specific preference panes have been problematic at times (e.g. MenuPrefs, PrefsMenu), and there's a minor bug with Screen Saver preferences related to the Computer Name screen saver — see my "Computer Name screen saver appears as a folder" FAQ.

  • How to send a list item value to URL to open data related to item value

    Hi,
    Iam using Apex4.0 and iam facing some problem. Iam unable to send selected list item value to the url specified in the HTMl region.
    Here i want to open the data related to list item value in other page.
    List item - :Familyp
    i want to pass this selected value to the url and when ever user selected the list item and clicks on the url, then it should display the item value related data in new page.
    I tried with &FamilyP in url but it's not working. Any one help me plz.
    Regards
    Vamsi.Tata

    Is it a normal Select list or Multi Select list?
    If you have select list that allows you to select multiple options then you cannot pass it through URL. Multi-select /Shuttle keep colon separated list in the item, and this confuses Apex because the Apex URL uses colons for a different purpose. No escaping or URL encoding will help.
    If it is normal select list that allows selection of only one option then you can pass through the url. Unless of course the data has a colon in it.
    For multi-select, and when the value contains colon, the only way is to save the value in session state, same page item or any other place like Application Item, and then reference it at the other end. Never pass through the URL.
    Regards,

  • Pixelated images in RSS screensaver

    I added two RSS photo feeds to my RSS screensaver, one from flickr, one from Picasa online. The photos on both those sites are large, high-resolution photos. Yet 9 in 10 of those photos that cycle through the screensaver have incredibly poor image quality. They're extremely pixelated, making them look like I tried to make stretch a 1x1-inch thumbnail onto the whole 20-inch screen.
    When I take one of those photos directly from the web page to make it my desktop background, it displays fine, no pixelation, so I know it's possible to display them good on a big 20" monitor!

    If the image already has a custom thumbnail, that is what CoverFlow will display. If it doesn't, then CoverFlow will draw a thumb from the image content, and it will draw thumbs up to about 500 pixels in size. By resaving the photos with Photoshop, you undoubtedly got Photoshop's custom thumbnails clapped onto the image, and those thumbs are only 128 pixels. You have a choice: if you want to see custom thumbs, because they will display faster in Finder, then you will see those in CoverFlow and the quality will be poor at larger sizes; or you can forgo having custom thumbs and allow CoverFlow to draw the larger size thumbnails it is capable of showing. Finder will also draw thumbs for other views for files that have no thumbnails, it will do this on the fly, and will display them just fine, just noticeably slower. You tell it to do so using View->Show view options and check the box to "Show icon preview"--you need to do this for each sort of view (and the wording for showing an icon varie slightly with each sort of view). You can then click the "Use as Defaults" button at the bottom for Icon and List view. Individual folders that have their own settings (they have the "Always Open in" option checked at the top of the View Options pane) won't be affected, if you want them to you'll have to change things for those specific folders in the options pane.
    Also, if you opt to not have custom thumbnails, you will need to tell Photoshop to stop putting them on the images. You do this in Photoshop's preferences. There's one "gotcha" doing this though: if the image has an alpha channel Finder will display the file as if the alpha channel were turned on as a mask. The only way to actually see the complete thumbnail for the image is with Photoshop's custom thumb, which will be 128 pixels max size.

  • How to upload company code data related to Company Code BP01?

    How to upload company code data related to Company Code BP01 FOR CIN?

    Hi,
    First check whether all the pre-requisites are completed.
    I'm assuming you have installed the Best Practices Baseline package (for country IN). If you have succeeded in actvating the buildig blocks (as per your scope) using Solution Builder, you would have populated all the company code data related to Co. code BP01. Looks like some steps are missing.
    Please refer to the OSS note 1408706 in this regard. From there, you also can refer to the "Quick Guide to Implementing the SAP Best Practices Baseline Package V1.604 (DE), which is self-explanatory. 
    Let me know if this helps.

  • Rss Screensaver OpenGL error in Console

    I'm seeing this error in the console:
    2006-10-14 18:31:22.995 System Preferences[5520] * <QCGLCIImage = 0x165FBE50 | type = CIImage | dimensions = 512x512 | buffer = 0x0000-0x0000 | target = GLTEXTURE2D | ID = 2>: OpenGL error 0x0502 (invalid operation) during upload
    It gets logged every time the RSS screensaver loads or I select it in system prefs. Searching here and google doesn't seem to help much.
    It's 10.4.8 on a 1.8Ghz Intel Mac Mini and I havn't installed any 3rd party screensavers.
    The only thing I've noticed -since the screensaver works fine- is that the number after QCGLCIImage changes slightly.
    Does anyone have any ideas? My console.log is filling up with this two times for every time the screensaver starts.
    Too many to list   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    1. Is the problem occurring with Apple's RSS Visualizer screen saver, or a third-party RSS screen saver?
    If the problem occurs with a third-party RSS feed screen saver, check for updates to it or report the problem to the developer. Some third-party screen savers written for PPC-based Macs do not work on Intel-based Macs.
    2. It's possible there are corrupted preferences afoot.1. Quit (Command-Q) System Preferences if it is open.
    2. Trash the following two files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder:
    • com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    • com.apple.desktop.plist
    3. Trash the following files in your Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder:
    (a) com.apple.systempreferences.xxx.plist
    (b) com.apple.screensaver.xxx.plist
    (c) com.apple.screensaver.screensaver_name.xxx.plist
    where• xxx is an alphanumeric string, and
    • screensaver_name is the name of a screen saver you have used.Whether preferences files of the type shown in (c) exist depends upon the screen saver and if you have changed its options, if any.
    4. Open your Home > Library > Caches folder, then trash the following two files therein:
    • com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
    • com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache
    5. Empty the Trash.
    6. Launch System Preferences and see if all is well. If so, reset Desktop & Screen Saver preferences accordingly.Good luck!

  • IPhone 4 reception issues are not design related! Proof inside this topic!

    Hello,
    I conducted some very strict tests to verify the reception bug some people are reporting.
    *Test 1:* Holding the iPhone 4 at a specific and precise position with a plastic protection and the left hand covering the bottom left corner making sure both antenna parts are connected by my hand.
    *Test 2:* Holding the iPhone 4 at a specific and precise position WITHOUT any plastic protection and the left hand covering the bottom left corner making sure both antenna parts are connected by my hand, making sure my left hand is perfectly dry.
    *Test 3:* Holding the iPhone 4 at a specific and precise position WITHOUT any plastic protection and the left hand covering the bottom left corner making sure both antenna parts are connected by my hand, making sure my left hand is wet (wetting it before the test)
    *Tests duration:* 2 full minutes.
    Here are the results:
    *Test 1:* Full reception (5 bars), EDGE data network working. Calls are working perfectly as well as data operations (Safari).
    *Test 2:* Full reception (5 bars), EDGE data network working. Calls are working perfectly as well as data operations (Safari).
    *Test 3*: Full reception (5 bars), EDGE data network working. Calls are working perfectly as well as data operations (Safari).
    Geographic location: Paris (France), Bastille district, inside my apartment. Note that I don't get 3G on this location, wathever phone I use (Veryfied with HTC Magic, iPhone 3G and iPhone 4, it's all the same on this aspect).
    *So same exact result for all three tests!*
    *_So what does it mean?_*
    It either means that not all iPhone 4 are affected by this issue (as mine is not affected), or that this issue is not simply related to how you hold your phone and does involve also other elements, like the phone baseband firmware not dealing well with some GSM network configurations (different frequencies...etc) when adding noise (which is what your hand do when holding the phone) or something else.
    This could give credits to the AppleInsider theory that it's related to how the BaseBand firmware is dealing with some GSM network situations and so that it's software related and that a fix is coming soon (see: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/06/25/deathgrip_hysteria_may_end_monday_with_ios_401.html).
    But it can also mean that it's still purely hardware related and that it's a production fault that affects only some units but not all.
    But it's clearly not a design fault, otherwise all units would be affected and so I would be able to reproduce it with mine, which is not the case (as demonstrated by the tests I conducted).
    _*My advice to those who are affected:*_
    1) Wait a week to see if a software fix get released (as apparently, according to AppleInsider, it may come this very monday as part of an iOS 4.0.1 update), or at least for a confirmation that it's not a software issue in some GSM network configurations.
    2) If it's confirmed that it's a production issues on some units, then get your phone exchanged.

    Well documented post.
    After reading through all the reports I found myself intentionally holding the phone in the "Death-grip".
    I went out that evening and used the phone perfectly fine all day, holding it with a few things, which is actually the way I hold it anyway when texting / msging etc.
    I have a lot of faith that Apple with resolve this with a software update, and hope the fault is related to the BaseBand firmware reported in the appleinsider.
    I am angered by everyone accepting the bloggers so-called "OFFICIAL RESPONSE" as Apples 'Official Response'.
    There is no way, that Apple (Steve Jobs), would use that response via email, back to a single customer.
    Officially... Apple will direct their response to the news directly, or at least something on their website.
    People need to stop jumping on the "Steve Jobs told us to just hold it differently" band-wagon, and wait for something thats actually "OFFICIAL"...
    As i've said in previous posts, just because the news and this blogger has put the word "Official" next to it, does not make it so...
    Rant over...

  • Is maker notes data really preserved?

    Reading through DNG specs, I learned (or at least that was my understanding of) that private maker notes data is always preserved, even if it is not understood by the DNG format.
    However, these days I was playing with ExifTool and, while looking through Nikon D70/D80 NEF files, I could see the FocusDistance tag. This is a private Nikon tag and I couldn't find it in converted DNG. Knowing that DNG should keep everyting, I went to ExifTool's web-site to find where in the DNG this tag might have been stored.
    I found the following statement on ExifTool's web-site:
    The maker notes ('MakN') are processed by ExifTool, but some information may have been lost by the Adobe DNG Converter. This is because the Adobe DNG Converter (as of version 4.3) doesn't properly handle information referenced from inside the maker notes that lies outside the original maker notes block, and this information is lost when only the maker note block is copied to the DNG image.
    So, where's the truth? And where is my FocusDistance data in the DNG?

    There's an inherent problem with the MakerNotes field in EXIF format; 
    EXIF uses what is in effect relative block addressing, so unless you 
    know what is actually in the MakerNote, you may not be able to copy it 
    safely (in order to copy it, you may have to adjust block addresses, 
    and if you can't decipher the MakerNote, you can't adjust the 
    addressing). So the block as a whole "blob of data" will be copied if 
    the Adobe Converter understands it, but it may not be possible for 
    software that later modifies the DNG file to safely copy it forward, 
    unless either the software in question understands the MakerNote, or 
    it has no addresses. That's why the DNG format has the 
    "MakerNoteSafety" tag.
    Private EXIF tags are a different issue; the Adobe folks would need to 
    comment on that.

    BTW: You don't have any warranty or support for this phone in India.
